/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

You're suggesting there may have been some kind of interstellar Johnny Leolaseed? I could see that happening.

The more pragmatic reason is that it grows quickly in the hydroponics bay. Perhaps it also contains more nutrients than many of their other crops and as such, more is being produced.

That’s what I thought. Leola root is a high carb root that will grow quickly on mats in a hydroponic bay.

Currently, real life intensive vertical hydroponic gardening is great for leafy greens, but not so much for starchy or other caloric carbs.

Thanks for bringing in a real world aspect. We'll have to assume their methodology/tech can do better with primarily subsurface produce.

Or, Leola root is the hydroponic equivalent of zucchini.

This video seems like something Neelix would make for his morning show.

What to do with too much zucchini!

Wow. That Naomi Wildman is such a little scamp.

That was quite the haul! Thanks for the vid.

I couldn’t resist. Glad you appreciated it, and that new Neelix image is all the thanks I needed.

By the way, in the meantime, I have done some more research only to discover that there are in fact TWO Earth root vegetables that are already viable as hydroponic crops: red radishes and beets.

The idea that Leola root is a cross between radish and beet is now firmly fixed in my mind.

Thus further cementing my disdain. A hybrid flavor of metallic chemicals and sweetened dirt.
